Abstract

Certain embodiments of the invention may be found in a method and system for an improved user group selection scheme with finite-rate channel state information feedback for frequency division duplex (FDD) multiuser multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) downlink transmission. Aspects of the method may include selecting, from a plurality of users in a FDD multiuser communication system, a first user having a channel gain that is greater than a channel gain corresponding to a remaining portion of the plurality of users. A second user may be selected from the remaining portion of the plurality of users, based on a channel gain of the second user and orthogonality of the second user's channel direction with respect to the first user. The selected second user may have a channel gain that is greater than a channel gain corresponding to the remaining portion of the plurality of users.
